Shoes off -- Lucy consented
Introductions

Facts:
1. Spring: Male bees are called drones. They are haploid, so every unfertilized egg will develop into a male. Their only purpose is to produce sperm. Female bees are worker bees. They are the ones going out to collect pollen. They are sterile. The Queen is the only one who can lay viable eggs. She becomes the queen because worker bees secrete 'royal jelly' from their head on the queen-to-be larvae. 
2. Britt: Perhaps ancient days could see the color blue. Perhaps everyone in Homer's time was schizophrenic. 
4. Calen: Bees will spontaneously make cocoons for new Queens, just in case.  


Guided meditation: no one wanted to wake up after.

Introductions
Facts:
1. Sdix: Ginko trees were anciently planted by universities. They symbolize intelligence.
2. Brad Pitt: Temperature of electronics effects speed. Some encoders can perfectly encode their signals by generating random numbers based on the speed of sending bits.
3. Britt: gypsies originated in India
4. Lucy: gypies didn't originate in India. That is a myth. Their original name came from 'Egypt' because that's where they're fabled to come from but that may also be false.
5. Annie: Basketball players with more common names are more successful
